Topic Wiki

Ill spell it out for the feeble.
You dont call up and ask if they take Visa gift cards for  a money order.
You dont call up and ask if they take Mastercard gc for a MO
You dont flippin call!


You go into a store and ask for an MO and she says ok its, XXX.XX say no p, take out your debit card and swipe. If the rep says no debits then apologize and leave. If she says lemme see that is that a gc say NO ITS A DEBIT. if she asks wheres your name you say (among many other options to think of) the permanent one is on the way and im using the temp one until i receive it. If you need to swipe more than once, its ok to have multiple debits (for those who are lacking in common sense). But be nonchalant dont be in your face about it to the rep. Reps want to feel they're in charge, its natural for a minimum paid employees...




I think this should give the basics on how to get a MO if you find a place.... this is not rocket science. But it seems like it is to some.... Where to cash out GCs for MO:

Where                                       Which gift card                                   Fee                                     max MO amount                                   

Service desk @ Wal-Mart                  MVD,  Visa from Meta bank,                                  70 cents                                           $1000
                                                  chase (phased out)                                                                                      $1000   
                                                     
Rite Aid                                                                                                 $0.89                                          $500
       
"HaNesher HaGadol"                            One Vanilla                                 .52                                          $500 max     
meijer-69 cents up to $1000-most stores
NOTES:
MVD charges 50 cents per transaction so ask for MO of card amount- (fee+ 50 cents) eg @WM ask for 498.80 on MO (or cover $1.20 some other way)

Yes to one, unsure of the other.
Thanks. I had interesting experience on Fri. I had reason to buy some vgc and the cashier asked if I was using GC and I asked why. She said that starting the 22nd, no more GCs with GCs. I said I thought it was only MO and she said no it was everything. This store did have sign up. I didn't argue. I was happy to get my vgc.

Why would anyone buy a GC with a GC?

Oh to switch my gc from Amex to Visa... I get it... But then it can be swiped as credit and that would be hard for stores to stop...

I think we're getting off topic here... We're on a thread that shouldn't be here discussing a topic that isn't allowed to be discussed...

PSA
As per cs in wm - no purchases or loads will be allowed using debit cards without a name printed on it (ie gcs) except at ATMs. New policy that just went into effect and signs will go up shortly. If anyone has an experience different beginning today please post. I'm going to cross post this in the bb and serve threads.

So cross posts are allowed if you say you are going to cross post?

Their policy evolved over the years. This has been going on longer than most realize.

So, according to last couple of posts, WM, once upon a time allowed MO with GC?
